[Public-list] engine rebuild

[Rod Symmes]

Now you have peeked my interest......
How powerful an electric motor did you figure it would take ? ( volts, amps or watts ?)
How many amp/hrs of battery would give you that range ?
How much thrust did you figure you needed ?

Cheers,    Rod

  Are there any Albergs powered with electric engines? I looked into this 
  at one point, but eventually backed away from it due to other projects 
  which needed money more. I found a used engine for about $1,000, but 
  then discovered buying the generation equipment (panels, turbines, 
  converters) was going to cost in the $2-3,000 range. The pros are 
  obvious. The cons: I would have been able to more or less match A-4 top 
  speed for about an hour before running out of juice. I estimated I 
  could maintain a speed of three knots for seven hours, but that was in 
  flat conditions.
